USF Robert Noyce STEM Scholars Program

The University of South Florida (USF) Robert Noyce Science, Technology, Engineering,
and Mathematics (STEM) Scholars program provides stipends to STEM professionals so
that they can earn their teaching credentials in mathematics or science by enrolling
in a one-year accelerated Masters of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program. The objectives
of the USF Robert Noyce STEM Scholars program are to:

Recruit content knowledgeable STEM professionals, both change-of-career and recent
graduates, to participate in a state-approved initial teacher certification MAT program
for mathematics or science at the secondary level (grades 6-12).

Prepare STEM professionals to be effective mathematics or science teachers of diverse
learners in high needs school districts in the Tampa-bay area.

Continue relationships with and provide support to USF Robert Noyce STEM Scholars
throughout their first two years of teaching.

Engage USF STEM Scholars in ongoing professional development through non-coursework
activities and experiences designed to develop a professional learning community to
provide long-term peer support.
